Did You Know?
Beef jerky gets its name from the Quechua word "ch'arki," meaning dried meat. The pun works perfectly because "jerky" also describes sudden, irregular movements - exactly what a cow with a twitch would do! Real beef jerky is made by drying strips of beef, but this cow is making jerky movements while still very much alive!
